Hey,
Question's in the title: Just how many of the many, many clone/homage projects that were announced over the years really saw the light of day/were more than vaporware?
There is, obviously, Rob Conley's Blackmarsh/Wild North/Southland setting, which I recall that we partially reviewed here, but didn't find the thread to.
(Short version: In the beginning, I wasn't specifically thrilled, but over time, this one has really grown on me. I'll never run it, but I have repeatedly recommended it to people that are new to BM, but not willing to invest in a lot of OOP books or PDFs.)
But outside of that, what's there? - I am not thinking about what was announced, or what was previewed, I am saying, what really saw publication? Dan Boggs' "Dragons of Dawn" was certainly an "Arnesonian" product, but it didn't feature a setting by its own, IIRC.
---
"Vaporware" here is not meant as an insult to the respective writers - I myself am guilty of that, here and there. ...And if you ask me when my own stuff will see the light of day, then I'll answer - "right after I finish editing the files for 'The Road'". :oops: :wink: But let's be real, here, too: If you released a three-page preview in 2010, and in 2018, the book/booklet/other project isn't out yet... Then it might just be that it'll never come out.
---
So, in sum, long story short: What's out there, folks? As always, I am a tad bit out of the loop, and would enjoy to learn some news!
Yours,
Rafe
